<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings Ansteorra,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A great many of us have had to turn our attention
to hearth and home in the wake of Hurricane Ike. As a result, many events
have had to be cancelled recently. If you're through cleaning up or if
you're just wanting your SCA fix, come to Bjornsborg's Ursae-Lyons. We
promise good fighting, good arts, good food and good friends. There will
be a tavern in the evenings and a vigil for HE Suzanne Saturday night.
There is also a Laurels' Circle Saturday afternoon.</FONT></DIV>
